Not often you see two DOG-H red cards in one game. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen that.

As a referee, any thoughts on the two DOG-H red cards? Especially the first one, determined to be a deliberate, intentional handball in a scrum situation?


Both 100% right

I'd expect a pro to get those right especially when replay is available. I talked to AR2 after the game, both were very clear.

Handball penalty from a scrum at the goal line after video review.


Of greater concern than the goal...

Abby Mills was given a red card for the penalty (I think/assume handball to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity?)

Assuming it's not rescinded, she won't be available for ND's next game, when they play none other than Michigan State, ranked No. 3 in the nation


Yep

It was a denial of an obvious goal (not an opportunity) and deliberate, otherwise it's automatically downgraded to a caution.


This Season Keeps Getting Wilder and Weirder

..with personnel developments (or not) and events.
On top of comings and goings with injuries, the Irish are due to lose Lily Joseph at some point. Whew....


If we don’t get some key players healthy…

there’s a non-negligible chance that we could finish below .500 and miss the NCAA tournament.


So this game is not available on ESPN+?

Is there anything worse than the Big 10?


On B1G+but it had no announcers & a terrible one camera high

feed that you get when the college isn't willing to invest. No replays or closeups but the camera followed the ball or the ref when he was doing the video reviews. No explanation on any decisions. Luckily ND does a great job as do most ACC & B1G schools, The few bad ones include Michigan at least when it comes to women'is soccer.

I also watched the Oregon Oregon State soccer game on B1G+ also broadcast from Eugene which was so much better-2 announcers and closeups and replays. Plus it was more exciting since there were 6 goals.


The Spanish Inquisition? But, no one expects that. Nevermind *
